Sigh... my point was missed. There is no "true" since there's no "one" way of implementing an ECN, just different models and features, all of which are valid in their own way. Plus, you really only see a benefit to liquidity participating ECN models ...

Because real money (live) adds a new aspect of trading to deal with? Emotions, fear, greed, etc.. all of which affect a trader managing live trades and making live execution decisions. Sim feeds are great, but they can never replicate what it's like ...

ECN only means an electronic communications network, which Pepper built out to interconnect with the banks and liquidity providers they work with. This "true" business is a really horrible marketing term that some other brokers fling around to ...

I don't know any brokers that provide free wires with the exception of some that offer such fees waved if you turn an insane amount of volume with them (and thus, have already covered the cost many times over through the profit you've brought the ...

May I make one suggestion: The first post has a long list of participants, but most of which have violations or reasons for backing out. Why not break it up into two lists: The first one for 'active' participants, and second for 'past' participants. ...

100 Fold Challenge -> Interested? TEST yourself

It's to cover the wire cost. While it would be nice if they offered alternative methods that are less costly, what they charge for wiring funds isn't out of line.. I've seen more expensive charges for wires from other brokers and definitely from ...

Fun fact: Canada's head of state is the Queen of England as well. Only we officially refer to her as the Queen of Canada along with her Canadian Royal Family. We're not the UK. We're an entirely independent, commonwealth nation, operating under a ...

Read through the rules. They aren't restrictive in any way really.. just asking for traders to be transparent in their challenge attempt. Fine by me. Again, for entertainment sake, I'm game. So I created a new account at one of my brokers ...

I got the same. I asked support why they wanted me to sign up again....and was told it was a mistake, two of the three emails were for their client leads, not existing clients, and they got blasted out to a lot of existing clients by mistake. In any ...

Might be interested in giving this a shot for pure entertainment sake... The only thing holding me back would be the example it sets for n00bs since the premise of the challenge goes against my own thoughts on trading (I'm against over leveraging ...

Usually an intermediary bank is used when the receiving bank does not have the facility to clear international wires from some regions around the world. The receiving bank then gets an account setup with a bank that does have such facility, and ...

My bank is like this too. They hide behind their "wire department" and say they didn't take any additional fees for incoming wires, yet when I showed them the transaction records of the sending party they changed their tune and said their "wire ...

Be very careful with firms that offer deposit bonuses, especially the large ones (like the 30% you mentioned.) Money isn't free, it doesn't grow on trees, if they are giving you a bonus it's because they expect to make it back (and more) from your ...

You're getting it, nearly there. (I'm now assuming your deposit currency and account are Yen based since I just realized you were from Japan, lol) So if you're trading 1 standard lot of EUR/USD, the pip value is $10 USD per 1 pip change in the ...
